Chapter 171： $200 million investment
When the third week passed, the weekly box office of "Jurassic Park" finally showed a significant decline, but the box office figure of less than 61 million US dollars was still firmly seated in the position of the weekly box office leaderboard. So far it has broken. A series of records in film history.
The highest box office number in the first week, breaking through 100 million at the fastest, 150 million at the fastest, and 200 million at the fastest, was acquired by Jurassic Park.
In fact, people in the industry know that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the total box office champion of film history.
After entering the fourth week, "Jurassic Park" finally slowed down. The previous long queues to buy tickets to watch movies gradually decreased. Other film companies were relieved. As long as "Jurassic Park" does not break out again, they There is still great hope for the movie to get a piece of the pie from this summer file.
After twenty days of intensive publicity, the crew returned to Los Angeles. At this time, everyone’s faces were exhausted and uncontrollable excitement. After all, they worked together to create a miracle, and the miracle is still going on. !
Now is not the time to relax. In late July, "Jurassic Park" will be launched in North America and fully landed in overseas markets. After a short break and adjustment, the crew will be divided into two groups to go to Europe and the Far East respectively to launch a new round of publicity .
If the film is to sell as big as the box office overseas, a vigorous publicity offensive is an indispensable means. The profit of this film is closely related to him, and Ryan will naturally not refuse.
"It feels so good at home!"
Back in the villa in Beverly Hills, Ryan took a long breath, the exhaustion on his face disappearing.
"Lisa, let someone put the luggage upstairs, call Mr. Zhou's restaurant, order a Chinese lunch, the old rules."
Nicole ordered the housekeeper, "Also, Tyler will come over soon and order some meals she likes."
After getting out of the car. Ryan called Scott Swift and asked him about investment matters, but his increasingly sharp-mouthed daughter heard that he and Nicole came back and clamored to come over. .
Long before the release of "Jurassic Park", Ryan received detailed information about Blue Sky Studio. He is not a computer. He knew Pixar because Steve Jobs’ resume was so famous. Blue Sky Studio only knew the name. And those animated films only, the information can only be explored by other means.
Fortunately, because of Pixar, he knows that there is a good friend of John Lasset in Blue Sky Studio-Chris Wedge. This confirmed that the blue sky studio is the blue sky studio.
Although it took a lot of hands and feet. Scott still offered a price that people couldn't refuse. Acquired more than 80% of the shares of Blue Sky Studio, and the rest are naturally left to a few founders. Without them, would a layman like Scott run the studio?
"Ryan!"
A crisp girl's voice came from the door of the villa, Ryan didn't even think about it. Replied, "I'm not here!"
"where is my present!"
Amid the intensive footsteps, a small hand with a red agate bracelet stretched out in front of him.
"Gift? Hmm... of course it's in the gift shop."
Ryan curled his lips. He knew very well that the little girl in front of him often talked to Natalie on the phone, and had long been taught badly.
"Huh~ meanie."
Taylor pouted, looked at Nicole very politely, and said hello obediently, "Hello, Nicole."
"Hello. Tyler, how did you come here?" Nicole hugged her on the sofa.
"The driver brought me here."
The Swifts are now standard rich people, not only the commission paid by Ryan, but also the dividends from Jenkins Pictures.
"Ryan, bring the gift I prepared in the salute." Nicole still likes children very much. Especially the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
Of course, if the other person does not move and rolls the golden beans, Ryan will also like her very much. Unfortunately, if this guy is not as good as she wants, he will cry to you and let people become two big heads.
Ryan first went to Nicole’s room, found the latest version of Barbie from the suitcase, and then came to his room, took out a set of limited edition dinosaur models from the glass cabinet, which is not on the market. It’s a bargain, but a souvenir made by Industrial Light & Magic for the main members of the crew.
I'm just being taken advantage of! Ryan sighed, every time the little guy downstairs came here, he was like a mouse in the barn, even eating and taking, most of the limited edition items of her own were cheaper for her.
After lingering upstairs for a long time, Ryan walked down the stairs and found that Nicole had taken Tyler into the restaurant, and the ordered lunch was placed on the white table.
"Is this for me, Ryan?"
The little girl first saw the two big boxes in Ryan's hands, her smiling eyes were bent, and she pointed to the chair beside her, "Just put it on top, and I'll open it by myself."
Well, you are now a privileged class, I won't care about you! Ryan put down the gift box and walked around to the other side of the dining table, so he didn't want to sit with the troublesome spirit.
"Oh, what a beautiful doll, thank you, Nicole."
In just a short time, Taylor opened a box flexibly and smiled openly while holding a Barbie. Then she opened another box and smiled even more happily after seeing the realistic dinosaur model.
"My dear, you should say thank you to me!"
After waiting for a long time, Ryan realized that she had no sense of thanks at all.
"Really? I seem to have said..."
She is about to be four years old. Not only has her spoken fluently, but her head has also become smarter.
"Okay, Ryan, let's eat."
Nicole spoke, Ryan shrugged, took up the knife and fork, and focused on the food in front of him.
The three of them ate and chatted. Most of the time, Nicole was coaxing the children. Taylor seemed to like her very much and always greeted her with smiles.
"I don't like kids. Austin is so crying and always sick. He is too noisy sometimes."
When Nicole asked about her younger brother, Taylor said, and Ryan only poked his lips, as if she was talking about herself except for the illness.
"I'm stuffed."
Soon, the little girl put down the spoon in her hand, her sapphire blue eyes rolled, and she bent over and went under the dining table to Ryan's side, "I want to listen to the guitar! I want to listen to the guitar!"
"Then you have to wait for me to finish my meal, right?"
Ryan pulled back the hand she had pulled over and rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Well then...you must play after eating. No conditions are allowed!"
However, after Ryan and Nicole finished their lunch, not long after they walked into the living room, someone came to visit, and it was James Cameron.
"Jim, why are you here?" Nicole asked him strangely after asking him to sit down.
"Yeah, why don't you make a phone call before you come, we just finished a good lunch." Ryan joked deliberately.
"I came to Beverly Hills to do errands, just to hear that you are back. Stop by and have a look."
Both sides are old friends. James Cameron didn't mean to be polite. "Congratulations yet, Ryan, Nicole."
"Oh, and this little lady. Can you tell me your name?" Cameron looked at the little girl sitting next to Nicole.
"Taylor, Taylor Swift, nice to meet you, Mr. Cameron!"
When facing outsiders, Taylor seemed extremely polite and educated, and he did not seem to be naughty or mischievous at all.
"You know me?" Faced with Cameron's question, Taylor explained unhurriedly, "Uh-huh~ Ryan's photo album contains a group photo of you with many people."
"So..." Cameron smiled at Taylor and looked at Ryan and Nicole. "I'm here to remind you, don't forget to attend the premiere of "True Lies"."
"You are really a responsible producer!" Ryan said teasingly.
"There is no way, 130 million US dollars of investment, if I mess up, then I can only leave Hollywood." Cameron raised his eyebrows. "Ryan, I will definitely kidnap you before I leave!"
"Don't even think about it, Jim." Nicole glared at him.
""True Lies" was released on Independence Day. At that time, the momentum of "Jurassic Park" must have fallen. There is nothing to worry about." Ryan shrugged.
"Also, Ryan!" It seems that the next words are Cameron's true purpose. "True Lies" is about to be released. You promised my idea at Arnold's party. I'm still waiting. Let’s go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with you to see that huge ship with your own eyes!"
"That's it, wait a minute!"
Ryan got up and walked upstairs, entered his room, dig out a few thick file bags from the suitcase, took one of them, put the others in the bookcase, and returned to the living room. .
The few months after the Oscars included free time during publicity. He didn't have any spare time. The few scripts he wrote at the beginning of the year were basically completed, and even the new Harry Potter episode was almost ready.
"Jim." Ryan handed over the bag of documents and said while Cameron looked through it, "I suggest that we spend two years in the preliminary preparations. It is necessary to build a one-to-one model ship. And the various utensils on the ship are best made by the original manufacturer."
He gave James Cameron the Titanic that he had mentioned a long time ago, including the classic "My Heart Is Eternal".
Cameron nodded, and Ryan continued, "This ship not only demonstrates disasters, but also demonstrates the power of industrial civilization. These are what you are best at, aren't they?"
"of course!"
James Cameron is not welcome at all I have written all the specific suggestions in it. As for whether to adopt or not, it's up to you, Jim. "What Ryan wrote is just some repetitive things in the previous life, such as the tableware that forgot to engrave the name of the White Star company, etc., which will save considerable costs and invest in post-production. "Finally, Jim, Jenkins Pictures can Invest 100 million US dollars for this movie, and the remaining 100 million US dollars will depend on your investment! "
"what?"
Cameron and Nicole exclaimed at the same time. Although they are used to big investment and big production, the production budget of 200 million US dollars is too crazy.
"Don't forget, Jim, we are going to build a one-to-one Titanic!" Ryan emphasized, "As long as "True Lies" does not encounter Waterloo, with the combined strength of the two of us, we will be able to I believe that the investment of 100 million US dollars is not a big problem!"
"Yes!"
Cameron nodded. Whether it is for Ryan or for himself, he has strong confidence, "That's it for the time being, don't forget to participate in the premiere of "True Lies" in a few days." )
